The detailed explanation of how debt prevents its owner, who died as a mujahid in the path of Allah, from entering Paradise.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Therefore, we must observe the seriousness of debt and remember this fact so that we can interpret the hadiths collectively. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The dust in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never be combined in the lungs of a slave لَا يَجتَمِعُ غُبَارٌ فِي سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ودُخَانُ جَهَنَّمَ فِي جَوفِ عَبدٍ أَبَدًا
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3110Hasan (Darussalam)
we must keep in mind the importance of debt. If we imagine a man who died in the path of Allah and had a debt, if he was excused and it was paid off on his behalf, then that hadith remains on its apparent meaning. However, if he died with a debt that was not paid, and he was able to pay it, or no one paid it on his behalf, then he must be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection, even if he died as a martyr in the path of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If Allah forgives him, the hadith remains on its apparent meaning. But if he is not forgiven, then the hadith must be understood in another way. It is said regarding his statement (peace and blessings be upon him):
And the dust of Hell وغبار جهنّم
meaning the fire of eternal abode. At that point, the hadith is interpreted to mean that the dust of the mujahid in the path of Allah and the fire of Hell, i.e., eternal punishment, do not coexist. However, if he dies with a sin, specifically debt, which is not forgiven by the text of the previous hadith, and if Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does not forgive it, he will be punished to the extent he deserves, and then he will enter Paradise.
